So in the medical field, you need white, closed front and back leather shoes, no mesh what so ever. I never realized how hard it is to find white shoes until now, and of course I don't want them to be leather, so does anyone who works in this field or know someone whose does have any suggestion on what shoes I can buy? How comfy on the feet are they for a long period? I think I found a pair of clogs but they fit weird. I tried on a pair and the back felt loose, is this normal? Any suggestions is great. Thank you!

I have those clogs from Kohls and wore them for long shifts at a coffee shop while pregnant and they were really comfortable. The first pair I had cracked across the top (I think from squatting to get things out of low cabinets) but I exchanged them for a new pair with no problem and those are going strong.

I have a high instep and the kohls Dansko knock offs didn't work for me, although they did seem like they would be comfortable otherwise. I would be cautious about the fabric Danskos, as I would bet they aren't very water resistant. I have been looking at Klogs - http://www.klogs.com//SelectedItem.aspx?id=14 - they aren't much to look at, but they do seem like they would be comfy and protective. I think the material is like Crocs.

Dansko also makes these in coated canvas: http://www.zappos.com/product/7894483/color/14It's hard to tell from the picture of the white ones, but if you look at the black ones, it looks like it has a waxy/shiny coating, despite their being canvas. I've never seen them in person, though, so I don't know how water resistant they are.

Yeah, these are waterproof. I highly recommend Dansko clogs for anyone that has to be on their feet for long periods of time. Your heel is supposed to lift a bit!

I'm a nurse and on my feet a lot - plus I have degenerative issues in both my feet - I go with the Canvas coated Dansko (I have the black ones) - these have pretty much saved me from needing foot surgery, they are that comfortable. The coating is really nice and you can wipe them off.

Oh, I didn't realize you already posted this! These aren't as comfy as traditional crocs, but they are still very comfy and the sole is much thicker, which makes me feel safer that if I step on anything I am well protected. They have lasted me a long time too.

I spray waterproofed a pair of canvas Dansko's for my acute clinical rotation. These were my first pair of Dansko's, and I'm not sure I'm as big a fan of them as everyone else, though, as I on long days I like a bit more cushioning for my feet. However, the canvas stayed mostly clean. (It got a little bit spotty).

And I hate to admit it, but when I did massage, I wore knock-off/Payless Crocs, and my feet never hurt. However, I ran less andstood more doing massage than working on the med/surg floor.

I'm an RN and I just wear sneakers. Danskos make me feel like I'm going to trip and fall. I've twisted my ankle in them before. I found that nursing school was really picky about shoes but in the real world they don't care as much what you wear on your feet. Crocs are a good suggestion though they seem like they'd be perfect!

Oh that is so sad! Well they used to be in the news for people tripping because the texture of the shoe is so gummy it can kind of stick to the floor in a weird way. Maybe that's why :(

Not that at all. It's because the sides aren't considered enclosed. It is a bit silly though because in the crocs that are without holes my feet feel alot more protected than any of the shoes we are allowed to have. They are good sturdy shoes.

Who doesn't wear someone wear crocs? That's just mean. I supervise some students that are told to wear white leather shoes and I am supposed to grade them on this. I always cross off the word leather. Anyway, what about these? They have more of a side to them:
